Let's just say this was a big learning experience.
Per the instructions we made all of the connections an applied Air to create a vacuum. Well, we were only able to
get 5 bars which is not even close to the 20 we need. This meant we had leaks and most likely more then one.
Found leak number one.
Apparently I had the clamp to close to the end of the hose which caused the leak.
Leak number 2 & 3 had the same issue.
yes this one sucked to get to
Years ago I made this block and it is the exact same height as the lift and man did it come in handy that day.
I moved all of them down and this issue has been resolved.
Next up with the thermostat housing.
Well, this one was all my fault. I picked up a thermostat for and LS1 not remembering that this motor has the
Wagner front drive and a new water pump. So let's just say it leaked.
Back to Filling and yes this to we hit 20
Eventually I plan to add coolant so I am leaving the rope up for that day.
If you are only going to do this a couple times this is what I used. It is definitely not a commercial grade item but for $40.00 it worked.
